Today I have been playing around with some other Linux distribution and I ran into a strange error. I ran the SCOM discovery wizard and the after a few seconds the wizard showed me this error….
Because I had not used the Ubuntu distribution before I used searched for several misconfigurations and found some other issues but they did not explain this error.
Well, after a long time I changed the password for the account to discover the Ubuntu server and then the discovery ran without an issue….
The old password was…
password123$
and I changed it for the ease of use to…
password123
and then it worked.
Strange error, but if you have such an error try to avoid the “$” sign. Maybe there is also an issue with other special characters.
I did not make any further tests, but hopefully it saves a bit of time solving your issues.
